M:F – 3:1
Common sites – Lower extremities – long bones, Spine
Typical pain – worse at night, relieved by NSAIDS.
Joint – Stiffness, swelling, contractureSpine – Scoliosis
Imaging – Cortical radiolucent nidus <1.5cm with marked cortical thickening (Xray/CT). Marked uptake on TC99 bonescans
Histology – Trabeculae surrounded by loose fibrovascular tissue
Treatment - NSAIDS- Burr Down Technique- RF ablation
A.K.A “Enostoses”
Benign lesions of cancellous bone
Common in adults, sites – Pelvis, femur
Usually asymptomatic
Imaging studies - Small round area of increased density in cancellous bone with radiating spicules at periphery.
Mature bone with thickened trabeculae thatmerge with normal bone at the periphery
Treatment – Observation.
If patient experiences pain and lesion grows, biopsy done to rule out more aggressive lesions such as sclerosing osteosarcoma, blastic metastasis or a sclerotic myeloma.
Benign lesions of hyaline cartilage
Common in adults; M=F
Common sites – Phalanges of the hand, small bones of hand and feet
Asymptomatic usually, discovered incidentally/after a pathologic fracture
Intramedullary canal – “Enchondroma”
Olliers’ Disease – Multiple enchondromatosis– cartilaginous tumors appear in the large and small tubular bones and in flat bones – due to failure of normal enchondral ossification.
Olliers’ + Haemangiomas = Maffuccisyndrome
Imaging - Lobulated areas of stippled calcification (Popcorn/punctate calcification), Minimal cortical erosion (except in hand).
Histology - Benign-appearing hyaline cartilage.
Solitary Enchondromas – Observation with serial radiographs. If stable radiographically, no further intervention is indicated.
Symptomatic – Curretage
Multiple enchondromatoses – Deformities treated by osteotomy
More developmental malformations than true neoplasms
Originate within the periosteum as small cartilaginous models
Slight male predominance. 2nd-3rd decade. Metaphysis of long bones
Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) is autosomal dominant —mutation of EXT1 or EXT2
Presentation - Mass; may be painful secondary to irritation of soft tissue structures, fracture, or overlying bursa.
Two types – Pedunculated or Sessile. Pedunculated more common.
Imaging studies – Plain radiograph/CT/MRI (Confirmatory) – Pedunculated or sessile bone lesion that communicates with the intramedullary canal of the host bone + Cartilage cap
Histological features – Similar to epiphysis of the bone which undergoes enchondralossification
Treatment – Observation if asymptomaticEn bloc resection – if symptomatic, with removal of the cartilage cap.
Malignant degeneration – rare – 1% solitary, 5% in multiple hereditary exostoses.
AKA – metaphyseal fibrous defects, fibrous cortical defects and fibroxanthomas
Common developmental abnormalities – 1st-2nd decade
Site – Metaphyseal region of long bones; mostly in distal femur, tibia and fibula
Radiology – Well defined lobulated lesion located eccentrically in the metaphysis with sclerotic margins
Presentation – Incidental finding on xrays / pathological fracture at the site of lesion
Histology – Bland appearing spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern within a collagenous matrix. Fibroblastic proliferation is present.
Jaffe-Campanacci syndrome – Multiple non-ossifying fibromas with café-au-lait spots.
Treatment – Observation, curettage if large Fractures are usually treated non-operatively.
Irregularity in the posteromedial aspect of the distal femoral epiphysis, possibly a reaction to the pull of adductor magnus
2nd decade of life. Males.
Usually asymptomatic. Xray shows erosion of the posteromedial distal femoral cortex with a sclerotic base. Best seen with LL externally rotated 20-45 degrees.
Histology – Fibrous tissue with collagenousstroma. Similar to NOF.
Treatment - Observation
Dahlin in 1978
Common in 4th – 5th decades. Equal predilection in both sexes.
More common in soft tissues than bone. Pelvis, femur
Histologically similar to non-ossifying fibromabut much more aggressive in behaviour and radiological characteristics.
Presentation – progressive pain
Xray – Lytic, expanding lobulated centrally lucent lesion with sclerotic rim with little periosteal reaction.
Treatment – Curretage – extended or wide resection d/t local recurrence.
Replacement of normal bone and marrow by fibrous tissue and small, woven spicules of bone. Monostotic/Polyostotic.
Common – 1st to 3rd decades. M=FCan occur in the epiphysis, metaphysis or diaphysis
Presentation – Pain, deformity, cutaneouspigmentation and endocrine abnormalities (McCune Albright Syndrome), sexual precocity, intramuscular myxoma(Mazabraud syndrome) and thyroid disease.
Histology – Irregularly woven bone spiculeswith a fibrous stroma
Imaging – Ground glass appearance, granular with a well-defined sclerotic rim. Small areas of cartilaginous metaplasia and cystic changes may be present
Treatment – Surgical treatment – significant deformity or pathological fracture or pain –intramedullary fixation/osteotomy. Treatment with bisphosphonates for extensive disease
A.K.A Campanacci disease
Ossifying fibroma of long bones
Common 2nd-3rd decade of life – usually affecting the tibia and fibula
Presentation – Asymptomatic unless there’s a pathological fracture – anterior bowing.
Radiologically – Multicentric radiolucent lesions of the cortex of the tibia
Histologically – Irregular trabeculae with prominent osteoblastic rimming in a loose fibrous stroma
Treatment – Observation, Fractures usually non-operatively, deformity correction.
Extremely rare, locally aggressive benign bone tumor – bony counterpart of the desmoid tumor.
All age groups – comm0n in 2nd and 3rd decade
Long tubular bones most often involved apart from skull, mandible, pelvis and spine
Pain is the chief complaint + Pathological fracture
Radiological – Radiolucent lesion with cortical erosion; may have septations; soft tissue mass
Histologically – Fibroblastic, hypocellular, much collagen and few mitoses
Treatment options – extended curettage, wide resection. Adjuvant treatments –radiation, anti-inflammatory agents, tamoxifen and cytotoxic agents.
Developmental/reactive lesion
1st – 2nd decades. M:F = 2:1
Any extremity; most common – proximal humerus and femur. Ilium and calcaneum.
Active during skeletal growth and heal spontaneously at maturity
Asymptomatic unless pathological fracture
Radiologically – Centrally located, purely radiolucent lesion which concentrically expands the cortex. No cortical destruction
Cyst filled with straw colored fluid. Thin fibrovascular lining.
Observation Aspiration Injection of steroids/bone marrow/bone graft
substitutes Curretage
Locally destructive, blood filled reactive lesions of bone.
Any bone. Most commonly proximal humerus, distal femur, proximal tibia and spine – 15% (posterior elements)
Common in 1st-2nd decade, female predominance.
Presentation – Pain. Rapid growth can mimic a malignancy. Spinal lesions – neurological deficits.
Radiology – Eccentric, expansile radiolucent lesion, thin cortical shell. Fluid levels evident on MRI
Histology – Haemorrhagic cavernous spaces, septae of fibroblasts, histiocytes, haemosiderin laden macrophages and giant cells.
Solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst – “giant cell reparative granuloma”
Surgical treatment – extended curretage and grafting with a bone graft substitute under tourniquet control.
Spine/Pelvic lesions – Preoperative embolization.
Low dose radiation – associated with malignant transformation.
Occur in the ends of long bones of middle aged men – particularly distal tibia.
Intraosseous extensions of ganglia of local soft tissues
Xray/MRI – uniloculated or multiloculated, well demarcated with a rim of sclerotic bone.
Treatment 0 Local excision of overlying soft tissue and curretage
Cysts filled with keratinous material
Histologically lined with squamousepithelium.
Resemble epidermal inclusion cysts of the skin.
Rarefied defects surrounded by sclerotic bone
Relatively rare
Adults, M=F
Asymptomatic, discovered as incidental findings.
Radiology – Well defined lucencies with a thin rim of reactive bone.
Histologically – Fatty tissue with focal areas of necrosis.
Surgery – only if symptomatic – simple curretage
Common benign bone lesion. 10% population has asymptomatic lesions in vertebral bodies.
Skull, long bones uncommon.
Usually incidental findings.
Rarely symptomatic unless there is vertebral collapse or nerve root or cord compression.
Radiographic appearance – Characteristic thickened vertically oriented trabeculae –“Jailhouse” appearance
Cross section – “Polka-dot” pattern
MRI – bright on T1 and T2 weighted images.
Asymptomatic – no treatment required
Vertebral collapse with neurological deficit –decompression with spinal stabilization. Long bones – extended curretagePre-op embolization to prevent blood loss.Low dose radiation – risk of malignant transformation
Disorder of unregulated bone turnover
Common in 5th-8th decades
Slight male predominance
Common sites – vertebral body, pelvis, proximal femur
Pathophysiology – excessive osteoclasticresorption followed by increased osteoblasticactivity. Early lytic phase followed by excessive bone production with cortical and trabecular thickening
Radiographically – depending on the stage of the disease
Lytic phase – Bone resorption – “Blade of grass” or “Flame” appearance from end of bone towards diaphysis.Later – bony sclerosis, thickened cortices and trabeculae
Bone scan - increased uptake, MRI
Biopsy – Mosaic pattern with widened lamellae, irregular cement lines and fibrovascular connective tissue.
1% - bone sarcoma - osteosarcoma
Treatment – NSAIDS, Calcitonin or bisphosphonates.
Activity – monitored by S. ALP and urine pyridinium crosslinks.
Surgical correction of deformity and pathological fracture.
Common in adults, M=F
Can affect any bone
